Grandma El's Review and Giveaway

I am always thrilled to find natural products that are safe for our family!! I am probably the most cautious with the products I use with Kaelyn and I know that I will be the same way when our second baby arrives in November! That's why I was excited to come across Grandma El's products a while back and learn more about this great company!

Grandma El's is owned by Jonathan and Melissa Posner, parents of a two year old daughter. This product was formulated in early 1972 by Jonathan's father, Robert Posner, for use on Jonathan's diaper rash as a child. When realized how effective it was...it became quite popular. In 2005, Jonathan formed the company Grandma El's (named after his mother, Eleanor Posner) to help make this natural diaper rash remedy and prevention ointment available to parents all over the country!

Grandma El's sent us some of their Diaper Rash Remedy and Prevention ointment to try with Kaelyn. I was really interested in seeing how this product worked. Although Kaelyn is potty trained, she still wears diapers at night. She typically wakes up dry, but wets her diaper once in a while. We found that she had a mild diaper rash recently (probably because her skin was no longer use to sitting in a wet diaper at night). I began using the Grandma El's samples we were sent, and was amazed at how quickly her diaper rash cleared up!! I felt good about using something that was safe and natural on her, and could tell that this diaper rash remedy was really working! Oh, and not to mention that it smells great too!

Besides the obvious effectiveness of this product in helping to heal her diaper rash, I was also very impressed with the fact that it's not a messy paste like so many other diaper rash creams. This is more like a jelly that goes on smoothly and stops redness and pain very quickly! It seems to protect as it heals and prevents the discomfort that comes along with having a diaper rash. Grandma El's patented formula helps to create a breathable barrier so your baby's skin can breathe. I am really happy to have found a product that is made with the safest ingredients to use with Kaelyn. I will definitely be using it with our little one once he/she arrives as well! All of their products are made without the use of phthalates, parabens, dyes, or any other harmful ingredients.

Oh, and did I mention that it has other uses as well?! The following are some of the other uses for Grandma El's diaper rash remedy and prevention ointment:

Cradle Cap
Chapped Cheeks
Sunburn
Eczema
Cracked Heels
Rough Elbows
Heat Rash
Stretch-mark Reduction
Cold Sores
Razor Burn
Chapped Lips
Cuts & Scrapes
Burns

Pretty impressive if you ask me. It has also been tested and is proven to work with cloth diapers! We are definitely going to make sure we have this available at all times in our household from now on. I would also love to try a couple of their other products at some point. Especially the Tear-Free Gentle Baby Shampoo and the Tear-Free Gentle Baby Wash! All of their products would make a great baby shower gift!
